| Obverse lettering | REPUBLICA MEXICANA (Translation: Mexican Republic) |
| Reverse description | Reverse of the Mexican host coin, a 1 Real struck at the Guanajuato Mint in 1828, bearing the Phrygian cap of Liberty radiating long triangular sunbeams across the field in the characteristic cap-and-rays design of early Mexican republican coinage. A circular hole pierced through the lower centre of the flan is clearly visible, consistent with Costa Rican emergency currency preparation. The legend encircles the design, partially legible, and the date 1828 along with mint mark Go and assayer initials MJ appear in the lower legend. The fineness and denomination notations are partially preserved around the periphery. |
